Schedule a Campus Tour and Interview
We encourage prospective families to schedule an appointment for a campus tour and interview. These visits are scheduled Monday-Friday during the academic day, which gives you the opportunity to meet with students and teachers, and see classes in session. The interview is a requirement of the application process and needs to be completed by the application deadline of February 1.

Apply online. Please make sure that the required teacher recommendations are from your current teachers. We also accept the SSAT online application, available at the SSAT website or the TABS Common Application, available at the TABS website.
Testing
All domestic applicants are required to take the SSAT (Secondary School Assessment Test) or submit recent (within the last three years) educational testing. Students can register for the SSAT online at ssat.org and must request that scores are sent directly to CH-CH (school code 2278). International applicants are required to submit an official TOEFL score report. All test scores must be submitted by the application deadline of February 1.
Shadow Days
Shadow days are a great opportunity for students to experience first-hand what our dynamic classroom setting is like. While shadow days are not an application requirement, we encourage all applicants to spend the academic day here with a current student. We typically schedule a shadow day after the interview has been completed. For more information please contact the admissions office.
